This species has been separated out from S. crassulaefolia, 

 Cham, et Schlecht., and S. hymenosepala, Gilg, and appears to be 

 well marked. Under these two species a number of diverse forms 

 have been placed at various times and an attempt has been made 

 to sort these out into their proper species.
